PULPIT AND PLATFORM.
FIRST FREE BAPTIST cHUCH.


Services were conducted by Rev. j. S.
Phillips of India. Mr.. Phillips expressed
some surprise to see SO large an audience at
this season, but the announcement that a
man who was born missionary, whose
childhood's playfellows were heather chill
dren, and whose whole life, except few
years passed in this country to secure an
education, had been spent in India, and es-
pecally for the memory of his venerated
father who was nearly half century in the
foreign fields, was sufficient to draw an au-
dience in Portland at any season. Mr.. Phil
lips is an easy, graceful speaker, going at
once to his subject and telling in clear and
concise way just what the people fare inter-
ested to hear. He spoke in the morning of
the home influence of missions, how it was
opening avannes for commercial enterprise.
OF what 1t was doing for knowledge of the
geography and Topography, of other lands,
and of its unifying influence upon the
churches and sects of our own land. DR..
Phillips spoke in the evening of the work in
India, and the special means which gave it
success. Among these he emphasized the
power of the press and medical treatment.
He closed by urging his hearers to make
these various factors the subject of earnest
prayer.
